One set of arms is folded impatiently, while she’s got one hand on the wheel and another hanging lazily out the side of the vehicle. She looks no worse than usual, and is in the same clothes you saw her in last night.

“Of course,” says Isaac.

Everybody gets up and piles back into the jeep.

“Which way are we going?” Harvey asks, looking over at you. He’s in a pair of flip flops, shorts, and a winter parka. He has an M-16 propped up at his feet, out of view.

You point out the direction. “Just down the hill. You know, the part that’s all smoking and crap.”

Rowan peers over at the destruction. “Must’ve been some fight,” she says, surveying the damage.

“Well, fire and all that,” you say.

“Shame I missed it,” says Sattler. She grins fiercely, and pulls out her fancy gun from beside the driver’s seat and holding it at the ready against her shoulder, even as she drives the vehicle on. Isaac, meanwhile, looks more relaxed than Satt does, and sits with his crossbow settled on his lap.

You drive down the hill, the jeep having no trouble with the relatively smooth terrain, and park outside the scorched earth you laid down.

Satt hops out, and shakes loose a pair of machetes from sheathes at her hips. Both blades have softly glowing glyphs cut in along their lengths that resemble the marks on her body. “Where’s our corpse?” she asks, weapon and blades hanging low. She surveys the charred, snake-strewn landscape.

>>33826147

“Over there,” you say, sending her in the right direction.

Satt heads off with a purpose, her steps light and cautious. Isaac and Harvey follow some distance behind. You watch them and the landwell, invisible to them, as it sits like a bright, fiery star above the terrain. You once again get that weird feeling that there’s some power in you that doesn’t really belong in you at all, though it has nothing to do with the tiger you picked up from it.

Ro stands beside you, and adjusts the straps on her bastard sword’s sheath so it rests more comfortably against her back. “Why’d you take off?” she asks, turning to you. Her expression is curious. “And I guess why’d you run all the way out here? You had to go a long, long ways.”

It’s a good question.

"I wasn't planning on all this y'know. Couldn't sleep, I wanted to be alone for a bit and get some fresh air.

Then I didn't want to head back to my room and wait for the sun to rise, I wanted to do something, go somewhere, and I had a feeling that I should come here, climb a mountain. So I did."

>It was sirens and stuff

“Yeah,” you say, rubbing your arm, “I got antsy. Don’t you get antsy, sometimes?”

“Not enough to run around without my shoes in the middle of the night,” Rowan says, her tone incredulous.

“Shush about the shoes thing,” you hiss at her. “And hey, what if I just lost my shoes?”

“Well, tell Sattler that, but none of your shoes were missing from the shoe pile in your room,” says Ro.

You scowl at her. “Don’t diss the shoe pile.”

“Whatever you do in your room is your business,” she says. “But seriously, what got you so antsy you just bailed without telling anyone anything? Dad feels like he has to just let you do your thing, and I guess that’s fine for the most part, but running away and stuff – it’s really hard on him, you know? And it’s hard for me too,” says Ro, giving you a meaningful look. “I mean, you’re supposed to be my sister, and sometimes I don’t know if I’ll just wake up one day and you’ll be gone.”

You rub the back of your neck. The thing about having family (kind of) is that they can guilt trip you way better than if they were just people you stayed with. “Well, it’s true about being antsy,” you say. “But… I don’t know. I felt trapped and weird. I was having these like… flashbacks. Of stuff.” You feel uncertain of yourself. “I panicked. I mean. I didn’t want it to be a thing, you know? Not with Sattler demon slayer downstairs. And it was like three AM. I figured I’d get some air and you know, pop back in with nobody being the wiser.”

>>33826547
So 32 is the right PP number right? 27+5=32?

>>33827509

You watch as Sattler finds Philostrathus and starts poking at the body. Isaac and Harvey aren't too far behind her. You keep your attention glued to them so you don't have to look in Ro's direction.

She's quiet while you explain, and then sighs once you’ve finished. “I don’t know," she says. "I guess I just wish that you’d come to us first. That’s, you know, what families are for,” Rowan tells you. “You don’t have to solve all your problems by yourself anymore.”

You don’t say anything, and your expression remains flat. Strangely, the feeling of the part of you that feels like it should be elsewhere intensifies, perhaps due to Rowan’s proximity. Maybe somebody else is supposed to have it.

The power burns within you at the idea. Mysteriously, you get the impression that it’s right. You’re supposed to give it to somebody else to hold for you.

They came from the landwell. What do you think getting rid of the landwell will do?

>>33827546
>>Next time I’ll wake you up, I guess.
Please don't give away the landwell.

>>33827719
I'm pretty sure we aren't giving any of that up by doing this. Part of our power feels like it's supposed to be in someone else, I'm guessing it empowers them somehow and ties them to the landwell, and by extension us.

>>33827719
>Not realizing that the gift is separate from the tiger, shadow tentacles, PP and detect land magic.

Rolled 84

>>33827719
just the extra power not the tiger/tenticles weree keeping thos i think

>>33827785
I just figured it to be like a key to unlock more of our inate powers. We'll lose "control" of the land and power to paint with the colours of the wind and whatnot, but the demon powers we unlocked will remain.
Though your guess is as good as mine.

>>33827899
We could always wait and ask Boris or somebody about it later. It's not like we need to give it away this instant.

>It’s not easy to go from not relying on anybody ever to relying on somebody sometimes. I got used to it

"It's a magic landwell thingy, it should do something cool."

>>33827899
I assumed that "hold it for you" meant we'd lend it to her so we/it can go eve more powerful, then at some point we take it back.

>>33827719
>>33827785
When we picked up the landwell, it specifically said it felt like we couldnt absorb all the power, and it was floating around outside us.
Pretty sure we aren't getting rid of the landwell, just handing out excess power.

>>33828026
The bit floating around outside us was the shadow self.

>>33827546
>It’s not easy to go from not relying on anybody ever to relying on somebody sometimes. I got used to it.
>Hey Ro? I’ve got something I want you to have.
>So uh. There’s this thing with the landwell. I think I can give it to someone? What do you think?

>>33828032
How do you figure? Shadow us is on the ground.
It is literally our shadow. It isn't excess power, it's an extension of growing as a verwalken apparently.

>>33828106
The part you were referring to was
>You feel more powerful, though not quite in the way you were expecting – some of it seems like it should be outside of you, even though it’s not. Either way, confidence suffuses your being, and you know that you’ve got this.
more specifically,
>some of it seems like it should be outside of you, even though it’s not
That is referring to the shadow. It's should be outside of us, because it's a shadow, but it's not because it's a part of us like a limb is.

>>33828150

Yeah, the power comment is referring specifically to landwell magic power stuff. The shadow was described in a different line.

>>33828150
Or yknow, its a piece of power meant to be given, which was literally spelled out for us in the post.
And not the shadow powers at all.

>>33828210
Thanks for clarifying

>>33828150
You're wrong on this. That part that's supposed to be outside of us is what we're thinking of giving to Rowan, I'm guessing it'll empower her, bind her to the Landwell and us.

Our shadow isn't mentioned at all in reference to this. Then in the next update, which was the opening of the next thread it says

>Meanwhile, your shadow twitches about you, feeling somehow more animate than it did before. It’s almost like it’s become an extension of your very being. You can feel the way it lies across the scrubby grass beneath the claws of your feet, and it moves with your very breath.

The power meant to be outside of us doesn't have to do with our shadows.

>>33828210
Oh, alright then. Thanks for clearing it up instead of letting me make an ass of myself for the next few hours.

>>33828233
BUT THAT'S WHAT 4CHAN IS ALL ABOUT!

“I suck at families,” you say, feeling pretty lame. “I mean. All that stuff with me and foster homes. It wasn’t just my demon stuff that got me kicked out,” you tell her. “It’s not easy to never rely on anybody ever. But you know, I got used to it. I learned to like it and roll with it. But you guys… I like you guys. A whole lot. Like, more than anybody. But I can’t – it’s not a switch. I don’t just… I can’t just dump myself on people,” you say. “I don’t know if I can do it anymore.”

Rowan chuckles at you, and looks up a the brightening sky. “You’re way too hardcore sometimes, Sierra,” she says. “Chill out.”

You take a deep breath. That’s you. You’re chill. (-3 Stress: 22/100) “This whole thing is kind of dumb,” you say. “I guess next time I’ll wake you up before I go leaping out of windows.”

“You do that,” Rowan tells you, chuckling.

You both laugh a little at the situation. Still, you have something serious that’s nagging for attention. “So uh. There’s this thing with the landwell,” you say, furrowing your brow and glancing over at Ro. “I think I’m supposed to give it to somebody? I thought maybe I’d let you have it, because I guess you deserve it or something.”

“What do you mean by a thing?” Ro asks, curious.

>>33827546
>It’s not easy to go from not relying on anybody ever to relying on somebody sometimes. I got used to it
>Next time I’ll wake you up, I guess.

Mention the feeling that it's meant to be "outside us", and since she got here the feeling's gotten stronger, like it's meant to be given to someone. We shouldn't go forcing stuff on our... sister, now, I guess. Or forcing it on other people either. But forcing it on friends or family would probably be worse.

>>33828506

You gesture vaguely in explanation.

“Right,” she says, nodding to herself. “Well. I don’t know. I suppose since you’re the landmaster, you can do whatever you want with whatever nebulous magic stuff you have. Can you give it to anybody you want?”

You think about it. “I think so,” you say, considering the trapped force inside your ribcage. “Whatever it is.”

“Maybe you should think it over,” she suggests. “Do you think it’s like… important? What does it do?”

“I dunno,” you say, shrugging.

“Huh,” says Rowan, puzzling over the offer. “You could talk to Borislav, maybe?”

>Eh. Probably should. I don’t have a good track record with magical mysteries.
>I don’t know. You could just… try it out, maybe? I think I can take it back if you don’t want it. Either way I think it’s something I owe you, you know, for like, being cool and stuff.

>>33828569
mentioning it feeling right seems like a thing to do. Maybe we should try getting near Isaac and co before anything first, to see if it just intensifies near others? It could just be an indication of our trust, or it could be indicating some kind of compatibility.

This seems reassuring and friendly, and landmaster powers seem to kind of tell you how to do them so it's probably right as well.

>>33828569
this is also good stuff to say.

If we do give it to Ro on a trial basis here, we should probably inform the others first as well.

>>33828542
>>Eh. Probably should. I don’t have a good track record with magical mysteries.

>>33828698
Yeah, stuff about landwells seems to be very much "you'll just know what to do". It might be a theme with druidy stuff and nature magic in general.

>>33828967
A bit of power that actually hasn't bound with us. Power that WANTS to be given.

Give her the di- POWER. Give her the POWER.

>>33828992
It might be some sort of deputizing thing; what would be very interesting is if we will get a similar thing for any further landwells, and if this power itself will grow with our total number.

I wonder if Rowan quest is running in an alternate dimension.

I wonder if Rowan quest is going through waifu/husbando wars.

>>33829074

>>33829139
I don't think they would get any ownership; more like the notion that we might be able to empower someone to look after each of our own landwells. Sort of like a metaphysical employee? We might get more donatable powers with each extra landwell, this power we can already grant may become stronger with our own, if we get more donatable powers there's even a chance we can load them into one person rather than spread them out.

I dunno, what little we do know about what happened to our family involved a shadowy figure with enormous shears and gave us a phobia of scissors. That's more Clock Tower than I think an angel would be, plus angels seem to glow while it's demons that tend to be murky, with the exception of Infernis, plus it's be somewhat contrived. Unless that's not what you were getting at, I suppose. I do wonder how involved mom was with stuff like slavery and so forth, though by all accounts she mellowed massively with dad. Given her position it would probably mainly just be her not stopping it, unless she ever spent time on earth while of a lower station.

>>33829979
I wonder what Mrs Song's connection with Corithis is? I mean, she was awfully interested in seeing if Sierra knew who killed her mother...

“Given me and my track record, that’s probably sound advice,” you say. You eye Satt and the others, who are still mulling over Philo’s dead body. “Hey buttercup! She dead or not?” you shout over to them.

Satt glances over at you, smiles, and gives you the bird.

Harvey laughs, and Isaac shakes his head. Your comment probably had good dramatic timing for whatever conversation they were having.

The trio start coming back over.

“Yeah, I don’t know really,” you say, frowning to yourself. “It just felt right to give it to you. Maybe it’s cause I know you.”

“That’s funky,” Ro says.

“She’s dead, princess,” Satt yells at you as she approaches. She carries something under her arm that you can’t quite make out. “Nice job. Total immolation. But it never hurts to be sure.” The smiles and tosses whatever she’s carrying at you.

It lands and rolls to a stop at your feet. Not much clings to the charred bone except patches of blackened sinew. You suppress the urge to jump back when you realize what it is. It’s Philostrathus’s head. (+5 Stress: 27/100)

You glare up at Satt. “What’s the deal with this crap?”

Satt winks at you. “You never know with Tatarans,” she tells you. “Not unless you’ve got her head in a box. You’d never really know if she hadn’t screwed it back on and started walking around again. Thought you’d want to have it. Gave you the most grief, from what I heard.”

Isaac isn’t pleased with the theatrics. “Please, Bronwyn,” he warns, giving her an even look.

>>33830219

Sattler laughs, though it's kind of a mean laugh. She’s a lot more animated out here than she was when you first saw her yesterday. “Come on, Izzy,” she says, giving a lazy, lopsided smile. “I’m just joshing with her. Sierra’ll be fine – she cooked her up, right? And I’m sure Rowan’s severed a few heads in her time.”

You look over to Rowan, who smiles sheepishly at you and and shrugs.

“What about me?” asks Harvey, an innocent, frightened look on his face.

“You have the eyes of a killer, kiddo,” Satt says, giving him a solid pat on the back.

Harvey and Rowan exchange a whimsical look, and Harvey snickers to himself.

“Let’s go home,” says Isaac, walking by all of you and toward the car. “What’s done is done.” Everyone goes to follow, though Sierra glances over at you, a little questioningly. She probably wants you to mention the landwell thing.

The detached portion of power burning inside you is feeling wobbly. It’s not exactly distracting, but it’s noticeable that it’s kind of pulling in several directions at the same time. Maybe it’s because there’s like, four people here instead of one?

>Let’s get out of here. I need a shower. I always need a shower. Eughck.

>>33830191
Thing is, the circumstances of that were that the entire family were murdered by a revolt of the serfs and rich. Also, that princess would have nothing to them beyond some fancy title that could get them killed. We can light stuff on fire, walk through corners, and take gunshots without dying.

Asking why demons always freak out so much is a fair question, but I suspect it might get a bit hijacked by Satt. She seems to be very much the dogmatic type to refuse to allow the conversation to go any further than BECAUSE THE SCUM KNOWS IT IS RIGHT TO BE SCARED

>>33830343

Maybe we should burn the hat...

“Actually,” you say, turning from Philo’s severed head to face Isaac. “It’s kind of not done.”

Everyone stops and looks over at you.

“Aren’t you going to take the head thing?” Satt asks, amusement radiating from her.

“Uh. Do I have to?” you ask, unsure.

“No. She was joking,” says Ro. “It was a stupid joke.”

“Leave the head where it is,” Isaac states.

You’re glad for that. You shake your head and the thought out of your mind. “So, the thing is, I have this kind of power deal that’s inside me, but it’s not really a part of me. It’s supposed to go to somebody else, I think,” you explain. You tell them pretty much everything you told Rowan.

Isaac thinks it over.

But Harvey talks first. “Sounds cool. Try it on me,” he offers, presenting himself. “Maybe you can share your pyromancy with people.” He smirks at that, probably because if you could really share your powers with people, fires tuff would be the thing furthest from the top of the list.

“I don’t know if it’s something I should just sling around,” you say.

“You’re right. If you can give a piece of your landmastery to someone, you should find out what that means first,” says Isaac.

Satt huffs, sounding incredibly bored with the conversation. “If you’re afraid of consequences, hit me up with it,” she says. “I’ll take a chance.”

“Well, immortal people seem to have a lot to risk,” you say skeptically.

>>33831440

Satt gives you an iron stare, and a weird smile quirks up at the corner of her mouth. “What’s life without a little danger here and there? Hit me. I’ll take it.”

That seems like an incredibly bad idea. Isaac agrees with you. “Don’t,” he tells you.

“Family man Isaac,” Satt says, in an exasperated tone. She turns and walks off toward the jeep. “Never get married, kiddles, you’ll wind up like your dad.”

“Thanks for the heads up,” Harvey says, a light smile on his face.

Isaac squints at something faraway and clenches his jaw, but says nothing.

“Eh,” you say, noncommittally. “If I’d give it to anybody right now, I think it’d be Rowan.” You turn your attention to her, finding her kind of surprised at the comment. “I think I can take it back if you don’t want it or if it doesn’t work out though,” you quickly add. “Either way I think it’s something I owe you, you know, for like, being cool and stuff.”

“Oh. Uh. You don’t owe me anything,” she says, an embarrassed expression on her face.

Isaac adjusts the carrying position of his crossbow, and looks carefully at you. “Is that what you want, or is that what the power inside you is prompting you to do?” he asks.

>It’s what I want, and it’s my power, so why not? Ro, do you want it? Whatever it is, I guess?
>I don’t know. Nah, you’re right. I’ll talk to Borya about it. Don’t want to walk into anything blind.

Just make sure everyone is standing well away from us and Rowan. It should be fine.

If we go to Borya he'll almost certainly end up telling us to give it to someone, and Rowan seems like a good choice. There's no point in putting it off.

>>33831492
>>It’s what I want, and it’s my power, so why not? Ro, do you want it? Whatever it is, I guess?

>>33831492
>other
It's kind of both.

We want to give it to Ro for aforementioned reasons, but the power itself is pushing to be given to someone and with more people it's getting sort of wobbly. The idea that it can be taken back is something the power is sort of saying?

>>33831492
>It’s what I want, and it’s my power, so why not? Ro, do you want it? Whatever it is, I guess?

>>33831713
Question, will giving up this portion of landmaster power lower our own power? Will it give away the landwell? Will Rowan become a landmaster?
If you cant tell us then these are things we should ask Borya
>>33831492
>I don’t know. Nah, you’re right. I’ll talk to Borya about it. Don’t want to walk into anything blind.

>>33831921
I don't think it will make her a landmaster. Might make her a druid or make her able to see landwells on top of a generic demonbane-flavored boost, but I don't think she'll become a landmaster.

>>33831981
Maybe she will become waifu.

>>33831713
I can't remember, can we stack Hellbolt with Hellfire?

We're almost certainly going to end up giving it to Rowan. She's the obvious candidate. It's not a trap option, it's not going to fuck with our possession of the landwell, Rowan might end up being able to see Landwells and will probably get a pile of abilities, either related to Demonbane stuff or stuff we can do, and she'll probably be our lieutenant not owning the landwell itself. It won't lower our power, this portion is meant to be outside, it's annoying us when it's not inside.

If we decide to bother Borya he'll likely tell us to trust our feelings, clear a blast zone around us, and give it a shot.

We may as well get it done now instead of putting it off.

>>33832013
I'm honestly kinda worried that we're gonna be riding back in the car and suddenly the extra power is gonna be all "Welp I guess she's not giving me away" and then shoot up our ass and force Sierra to display demonic traits in front of Satt.

>Implying this won't bind her to us as our Warder.
>Implying we aren't going to gain vassals as we gain landwells

>>33832067
Curious though. Doesn't Satt already know we're hellborn? Or did Issac leave that one last detail out? Maybe I missed something, I'm not sure.

>>33832067
Hence wanting to ring Borya and dole that thing out now.

>>33831981
The power itself is giving us the vibe that we can take it back, though obviously we might want to make sure there aren't any adverse effects to doing so. There's a risk that taking it back could make her ill, dent her overall power or worse, not just remove whatever boost we give her. It seems unlikely, and as has been mentioned by Borya the rule of thumb is trust what the powers say to do and it'll work out, but still.

>>33832206
>Doesn't Satt already know we're hellborn?
No, she doesn't know. It was sort of a huge fucking deal that she doesn't know and we're supposed to be not letting her find out.

Did you miss the last 3 threads?

>>33832206
As far as we know she does not know we're hellborn, Issac told her we're a natural pyrokinetic and land master.

She may have suspicions, but she has not voiced them to us.

>>33831492
Call the bear.

>>33832206
He left it out. She is, uh, rather prejudiced. An angel of the ALL DEMONS ARE INHERENTLY EVIL AND TO BE SLAIN bent. It's one thing to derive satisfaction from destroying evil while knowing that most demons are generally evil, but she seems to mainly like killing demons because they're demons. While them being evil may have been the motivation to start, it's become a rationalization.

...I forget, are hellions outright skeletons, or is it just the head? I think it's just the head, since otherwise they're just... well, magic skeletons.

Thinking of that, what happened to Mrs Crowther?

>>33832552
We don't know. We assumed that they're just really skinny in the body region.

We don't know that either.

>>33832581
did we get the rundown on their special abilities at least?

>>33832647
Abilities
>Magic
>More magic
>Not explaining shit

>>33832647
Nope. They're supposed to be good with magic. Moriah has said some stuff that circumstantially supports that.

But nothing like what we know about the capabilities of say Infernus or Belph demons.

>>33832552
I way I understand it, Hellion's look kinda like turians, what with the split jaw and all.

And I suspect that Mrs Crowther ran afoul of Demonbane and got 'deported.' And by deported, I mean 'viciously murdered.'

>>33832647
They seem to have a natural inclination towards spellcasting. You know how inferni get buffed HP abilities? Hellions get loadsa PP. They would also probably innately learn some spells.

>>33832647
Maviel had a thick fog of what was probably a visual representation of PP/magic stuff around her. She was the only Hellion we saw unglamoured after unlocking Empathetic, so dunno how the others be.

So basically skull wizards but less goaty and with more normal hands. Presumably one crossed with the goat demons really would yield a skull wizard.

Greyjoy please.

“Good question,” you say. “Let’s talk to the bear about it.” You ring up Borislav. Hopefully he’s in cellphone range, wherever he is.

“Slishu tebya,” says Borya. “What is up?”

You explain the situation to him, in detail. Well, okay, maybe you have Isaac explain some of the situation to him, in detail. But he’s translating for you, so it counts.

Isaac gets a pained look on his face, like he’s experiencing severe brain freeze, and hands your phone back to you.

“Go for it, wild child!” says Borislav, even before you’ve got the phone in your hands. He sounds excited. “Pognyali! Ei srazu zhe perezvoni, posle tovo kak fsyio uyasnilis. Ochen mne hochestsya uznat shto srovan proizhodit! Okay?"

Borislav is the voice of caution.

“Uh,” you say, not understanding anything he just said, “sure.”

>>33834648

Isaac waves for you to give him the phone back, and you oblige him. “Well, I got the green light,” you say to Rowan, smiling stupidly. “Huh? Get it? Green? Because he’s a park ranger. It’s like, nature. So. Green light. It’s a pun.”

Harvey gives you an even, faintly humored look, and Rowan groans.

“Sorry,” you apologize. “So uh. You know. If you want it, you can have it,” you tell her. “Whatever it is, I guess.”

"What are you people doing?" yells Satt, over from the jeep. "I got the keys. I could ditch all of you if I wanted, just saying."

Rowan turns the issue over in her mind a couple times. “If it’s what you want,” she says, guardedly.

But let's not hold it in and have something hilarious happen on the way back, which would be even harder to explain and keep our head.

Though I think it's more likely for her to get a halo, like Issac, rather than horns. I'm guessing the power up from the landwell will enhance and complement her natural abilities like its done for us, rather than giving her something different.

And then there's that lone Beatricefag

You think abuot it, and nod. “Yeah, it is,” you say. You take a step back from Rowan, and straighten your ugly sweater. “Just so you know, I don’t know what I’m doing,” you say.

Harvey looks from Rowan to you, and then walks about ten yards off before turning around to watch. He then reconsiders, and takes another couple paces backward.

Isaac joins him, still in a heated conversation with Borislav over your phone, all in Russian.

“Wait. Is this going to hurt?” Rowan asks, bracing herself against the unknown.

“Probably not,” you lie. All your landmaster stuff hurts. “Actually, yeah. It probably will hurt. Like heartburn. Really, really bad heartburn.”

Rowan winces, and balls her hands into fists. “All right. Do it.”

“Might want to take off your coat first,” you say. No reason not to be cautious.

Ro does as you instruct, and then resumes her braced position, except this time she shivers at the cold.

You walk up to Rowan and put a hand on her shoulder, and close your eyes. You try to focus on the little thing of foreign energy inside you. Eventually you get it in your focus, and feel it pulling toward her. You prod it along, until it starts to reach the edge of your being.

And then, suddenly, it zaps out of you and arcs over to Rowan.

There’s a resounding crack of thunder, and you’re knocked backward like you’ve just been tackled by a linebacker.

When you come to your senses, you sit up out of the grass and look over at Ro.

>>33835716
She’s fallen to her knees, and her expression is one of utter shock. A thin, metal band of gold sits fixed in the air above her snowy, silvery hair – the blonde dye’s been burned out of it - and she’s got a pair of huge, incredibly feathery, silver wings mottled with darker spots.

She clutches the front of her nightshirt to body and stares at the ground, eyes wide with shock. The whole having wings thing tore out the back of her shirt. Her voice sounds shaky when she speaks. “Crap,” she says, noting the ruination of the piece of clothing.

“Good thing I made you take your coat off,” you say, kind of in shock yourself.

Isaac immediately runs to Rowan. “Good Lord,” he says. “You’re… you have wings! Are you okay?”

Ro waves him away. “Just fine, just not the shirt, back off!”

Isaac stumbles backward, utterly amazed.

You go over to Rowan yourself and pick up her coat, which she left on the ground. You fork it over to her, and she folds up her wings enough so as to manage getting the coat on over top them. They still show out the bottom, though, and they form a notable hump on her back. She cranes her neck to look over her shoulder at her wings, and kind of at her shirt. “I liked this shirt,” she says, sadly.

inb4 Sierra makes some corny "call me 'Red Bull' joke"

>>33835728
“Man,” Harvey calls out. “I call dibs on the next one.”

Satt lets out a high whistle from where she’s laid out in the jeep. “She looks more Seraph than you now, Isaac,” she shouts, chuckling. “Kind of not full Seraph though, you know, since I’m counting just the two wings – but as they say, in the world of the flightless, the woman with two wings is queen.”

Ro reaches up and touches her halo. Then she grabs it and gives it a tug. Instead of it moving, though, her whole head moves with it, like it’s attached to her skull and not flowing in the air. “That’s weird,” she says, a weirded out at her present situation.

It is pretty weird. But it’s something you’ve had experience with. You let her be confounded for a little bit.

After glancing backward at the feathery things sticking out her back, Ro turns back to you. “Sierra, you gave me wings,” she says, sounding confused.

>I was kind of worried you'd sprout horns or something for a second, there.
>The gift that keeps on giving?
>What’s the halo for, anyway?
>Your hair looks better without dye. Just saying.
>I guess you get to join the glamor club, now.
>Good thing I didn’t give the thing to Reeber. He’s hard enough to manage as is.
>I wanted wings and all I got was my shadow.
>Wings. You like wings, right?

We should work on getting our own wings sometime. Flying buddies!

GO FOR THE HUG!!!

>>33835982
Might as well try

>>33835982
Not in this life.

Best we're gonna get is not feeling like our skin is going to crawl off and hide under the bed when someone so much as touches us.

>>33835764
can you make one of those little mspaint things for Rowan next? I wanna set her next to the Sierra one and it'll be cute!

>>33835728
It isn't like that shirt is mass produced or anything.

>>33835982

Dice for that hug. Hard DC, because hey, it's Rowan. It would be harder if it wasn't her.

So how hard was that dc? Is this the first hard dc roll we've cleared in the quest?

>>33836802
Hard DC is 10 iirc.

Very hard is 5

No, we've cleared a couple of each.

>>33836802
We've done a few before. I think you need to get ten or less.

I guess Languid's taking his time with making it all touching and shit

>>33837034
He waits until we comment on his absence.

Its torture

I know it doesn't really matter, but man this really twists my spergtails.

“So,” you say, unsure. “Wings. You like wings, right?” You like wings. Rowan looks really Rowan-ish, right now. Adding all the angel jazz seems to just fit the bill, more or less.

“I like wings,” says Ro, suddenly beaming at you. “This…” she tries to put something together to say to you. “This means a lot to me. Thanks, Sierra.” She has to stop talking for a second, and her eyes shine with tears. “You’re a real special person, you know that?”

“Nah,” you demur. “I just got a bunch of freaky powers.”

Rowan smile becomes a little sad. “I’ve never wanted to hug somebody so badly that doesn’t like hugs,” she says, more of just stating the thought than talking to you.

You know she really means it. You can feel the warmth radiating from her, and a lot of it is directed to you, specifically. You can feel it, like a little sun, cozying up to your heart. It’s probably the lamest, most stupid image you’ve ever imagined.

But it doesn’t make it untrue.

“Well,” you say, looking at her flatly. Maybe her giving you a hug is one thing, but maybe you giving her a hug is another thing. And you find you really want to try, at least, right now.

You set your shoulders and screw up your face, as if preparing to be slapped in the face, and take a rigid step forward, and put your arms around Rowan, or at least as far as you can with her wing things, and move yourself toward her. She doesn’t move much, which makes things easier.

>>33837278
You close your eyes and put your chin on her shoulder, and lightly pull her to you. It’s no bear hug. You barely put any pressure on her at all. Instead, you concentrate on that warm feeling radiating from Ro, and try to put out of mind the squirming, angry feelings that try to burn into your skin. You want to say something meaningful like, thanks for trusting me or like, I’m glad you’re my sister or, you know, something, at least. In the end your voice catches in your throat and you can’t say anything.

You kind of like having somebody that you can put your arms around and just like, share stuff and feelings and junk without talking. You wish your whole touching thing didn’t include people like Rowan. Maybe that doesn’t mean much, though. There’s not very many people like Ro. Just… somebody that accepts you. (+3 Sanity: 82/100)

You let go of her and step away before you start feeling anything too bad from prolonged contact.

An awkward moment of silence passes.

“So the halo thing,” you say, trying to fill the silence. “What’s the deal with that?”

Ro glances upward, though she can’t see her halo at all. “It helps protect you from magic,” she says. “It’s supposed to do other things too, but that’s the big one.”

Sattler honks the jeep’s horn again.

>>33837278
>She doesn’t move much, which makes things easier.
kek

i want rowan and sierra to be exposed in front of their school friends

or at least have more confusing spiderman conversations

>>33837298

Ro smiles, and so do you. Then you both turn to head off toward the jeep, with Isaac and Harvey in tow. “Your hair looks better without dye,” you say out of the blue, taking a second to appreciate Rowan’s long, silvery hair. “Just saying.” Her hair has a kind of liquid motion in the wind and has a neat way of catching light when it’s her natural color.

She snorts. “Maybe I’ll leave it like this for a couple days,” she says, “you know, before I dye it back. See what people think, I guess.”

“Yeah, I think that would be kind of fun,” you agree. “You’ll probably have to do something about the wings and your halo, though.”

Ro’s expression is wry. “I didn’t think that would be something I’d ever have to deal with,” she says. “I guess it’s something you have to do every day, though.”

“Guess you get to join the glamor club,” you say flatly, hoping to bait out an eye roll from Ro with the pun.

It works.

You're a great person.

Do we get to be all "I got wings too! Sorta! Ok, they're not really wings, but check it!" and then we flap the tentacles and giggle.

WELL I AM.

I SEE ALL THE DETAILS AND THE DETAILS STARE BACK AT ME!

DOES THAT MAKE ME A TREE? DO YOU WANT TO PRUNE ME?

It's really not a big deal since you usually get things sorted between threads anyway and you actually implement good change suggestions.
Still agitates.
